Going home has no longer got the attraction of days gone by. Friends are busy, days now seem longer. But this was aadya's first vacation and the only redeeming factor. She enjoyed herself on the flight to Pune. Cabin pressure and ear popping seemed so much fun. She smiled and laughed at everyone behind our seats. Our house in Pune is now much larger after the reconstruction. Aadya had a great time roaming around and playing in the garden outside. On our trip to Nagpur by train, she insisted on meeting everyone in our coach and then, tiring of it, wanted to go to the next coach too. She had a couple of spills, resulting in a bloody mouth and nose, but this didn't seem to deter her.
This was also the first time she travelled by local bus - Arshad's place, Poona House and Shyam's place. She enjoyed the breeze, the crowds and the general hustle-bustle. In Nagpur, we saw her get into her first fight. Divyansh pushed her to the ground over a fight for toys, to which she quickly retaliated by scratching and then biting him. They continued fighting till we intervened.
Aadya has now started given up crawling. When we left for Pune on the 5th, she was doing both, crawling and walking. Now it is purely walking, although she seems to enjoy the occasional crawl. I could go on and on. Her antics never seem to tire me. How innocent and pure childhood is, bereft of worries and anxieties.
